A lovely vintage nude with a crazy creepy doll. Not to mention the creepy dog staring from the wallpaper behind them. “Nude with Boudoir doll” by Julian Mandel via maudelynn: via http://www.cleopatrasboudoir.com
“Julian Mandel” (1872–1935) is the identity given to one of the best-known commercial photographers of female nudes of the early twentieth century. Signature photography bearing that name became known in the 1910s and was published in Paris through the mid-1930s by such firms as Alfred Noyer, Les Studios, P-C Paris, and the Neue Photographische Gesellschaft.

Scan from a large dry plate of two girls holding what appears to be new china head dolls. I love the look in their eyes. Dates from 1870’s.
